I had a pedicure done with one of those when I was on holiday in Austria last summer. I was very scared, but it was the best pedicure ever - my feet looked and felt softer than they had ever done before.

Fluffycloudland77 · 24/03/2011 18:52

Chiropodists advise you to not use them because we see so many hacked about feet that are septic and then we have to sort it out.

Diabetics, people with bad circulation and people taking steroids (tablet form) should avoid them.

If this is a ruse just to make your feet fit into your new Zara shoes IT AINT fair lady

piratecat · 24/03/2011 19:06

be careful please be careful. i had one and got a bit happy with it and got down to 'live' skin, and thought on more, and whoosh i'd suddenly gone right into my tender skin. ouch it hurt and was so sore for days.

blood everywhere, i know it's fun but go easy!!

transferbalance · 24/03/2011 19:08

transferbalance · 24/03/2011 19:09

DuplicitousBitch · 24/03/2011 19:10

I had a pedi in Oz last year using said spud peeler attachment. Was lovely and soft but oochie trotters for a few days and had to traipse round airport the next day on said oochie hoofs.

Good though.

Having a fishie one next week

Tidey · 24/03/2011 19:34

Even the PedEgg made me go cold all over Don't think I could cope with attacking my feet with a potato peeler.

bibbitybobbityhat · 24/03/2011 19:35

OMFG.

Every spring.

Every spring the same.

You and your hoofy feet.

And we ALL have to hear about them.

You're like my mother with her funny toenail.
